➡ Quail Hatch Along🥚

[Kiki]

I got that part...the chicks that have hatched whether shipped or homegrown are all fat and happy and problem free with the exception of a couple splay legs that she’s trying to correct (mainly from shipped eggs)

I think my brain is fried.
I was lost thanks!

Now I just need to know where the 100 Celadon eggs came from and I'll be good to go.

I don't watch, so times are perception. Start one bleeding out and do something else. For example, start bleeding one, check water temp. Scald & pluck the one before it. Gut and put in ice chest. Grab the one in the cone, start another bleeding while rinsing & scalding that one.

That was confusing. Always have one in the cone while processing the one before it. I only use one cone. Even with helpers. Hand plucking takes time.

Yes. They crane their necks up. Instead of grabbing their chin to stretch the neck out, I hold them upright, position shears and done. Pin to fence and grab next. Wrestling with them hanging isn't something I'm in for. Chickens calmed down. Quail don't. I'll try it Sunday, but holding is quicker. May try it with Jumbos. My hands aren't that large.

You say "Marie Antoinette", I think Wednesday Adams. They're creepy and they're kooky...

How's fat leg doing?

@Texas Kiki ......you need to drink more.....the “drunk recall” thing way outweighs the “senility” past age 35!!!!

Or I’m just a “freak”!!!!! Which is probably true too!!!!

Oh it's not until late august! I've just been busy working on the house and garden and tending eggs. Thank you though!!

Oh! Maybe it was someone else or I'm mixing up her pearl hatch.

You go to Burning Man? I've never been, but if you happen to go and see some firedancers who perform there regularly, say "Hi" to them. One of them is our network admin, and his partner is another. Great guys, the both of them.

They DID come from JMF, sorry! I was confused also about what you were asking.

My homebred ones are fat and problem free (did I say fee?!).

The celadon ones are having a really low hatch rate, and a lot of the ones that have hatched are smaller/having more problems than either the extra "research" eggs sent in the same box or my homebred ones I stuck in there alongside them.

@mixedUPturk I do think that is the plan although I am letting @el dorado quail handle the logistics as:

I will be at burning man @Nabiki ! This will be my fourth. We take a big coffee and tea camp. I will definitely do that although only ever see a tiny tiny fraction of everything going on.

I hate laying on the cold bathroom floor in the wee hours of the morning.

I probably should practice and build up a tolerance again.
